TO ALL WHOM EIMAYV CONCERN:

Bye it known thatI, OTTO BRGK, of the city, county, and State of" New York, have invented a new and improved Pocket-Book andFan Combined; and I do hereby declare the following to' be a full, clear, and exact description thereof', which will enable those skilled in the art to mak-e and use the same, reference being had vto the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which drawing- I AFigure 1 represents a. frbnt view of this invention when the fan is drawn out forAuse.

Figure 2 is a sectional front View when the fan is drawn in. Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

This invention consists in arranging, in the edge of 'a pocket-book, a fan, which can' be drawnin or pulled A out, in such a. manner that a lady, carrying her pocketbook in 'her hand, is enabledto pull out the fun and fan herself, or to draw in the fan, and carry h'er pocket-book in the ordinarymanner; and that a neat and.con vcn ient article is produced, which combines the advantages of a fan and of a pocket-bookr A represents apocket-bool; or Portemonnaie, made in any desirable form or shape, of morocco, or any ninterial from which such articles are usually made. I

In the edge of this, pocket-book Isecure a fan, B, which may beconstrnctedV of two telescopic tubes, as

described in Letters Patent granted to me, November 19, 1867, or which may be constructedin vany other suitable manner, so that it 'can be'dra'wn'in toY the position shown in fig. 2, orgpulled out to the position showt. in g. 1. When the fan is pulled out', the pocket-book forms the `handle of the fan, and the person carrying such pocket-book is-enabled to fan himself or herself'in the same manner as with an ordinary fan, and, at thc saine time, the contents ofthe pocket-book can be reached without diiiiculty.

When the fan is drawn in, the pocket-book can be carried in vthe pocket like an ordinaryy pocket-book.

By-these means an article is obtained which combines the qualities of an ordinary vpocket-book with those of a fan, in such a manner that the use oi'veitherwill not inthe least interfere with theutility of the other.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new,`and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A fan and pocket-book combined, as a new article of manufacture. i
